Finished Borgen, inc the new fourth season on Netflix. Main takeaway of the latter seemed to be that, despite being billed as the continuation of a tale of two successful, powerful women, they should be careful not to get too successful otherwise they'll go mental and either lose sight of of they are as a person, have a breakdown, or both. Know your limits, ladies.

No interest in those as I've no idea who they are. Watched Rita Ora and that was dull enough. Judi Dench one was okay.
What? You don't know who Stormzy is?

The Duke- a man steals a painting and holds it to ransom, his demand? Free TV licences for OAPS. Olden days thing based on a true story with Jim Broadbent. I liked it. 7/10

Operation Mincemeat- olden days thriller about when we tricked the Nazis using a corpse with fake intel planted upon it. I liked it and would have liked it even more if I was paying attention. Kelly Macdonald is in it and she is attractive. 7/10

The original version of the mincemeat story was called The Man Who Never Was (1956). It's a fantastic film and I would commend it to you - it features Gloria Grahame in a slightly different role to that of Kelly Macdonald and she's also very attractive (or was). To me a superior telling of the story, although the modern one with Colin Firth is pretty good.

The Matrix Resurrection- I watched this but have no idea what happened. 4/10

Dune- I watched the first 30 mins but it seemed like total fantasy bollocks which I have no time for.

Decent for-telly drama that retells the absolutely bonkers story of Labour MP/Minister, John Stonehouse in the 70s. I had to look him up afterwards just to reality-check the story as it was so unbelievable. But it was true.
Watched all 3 episodes in one sitting on Monday. Great series and very well played by all involved. I'd only had a vague memory of the case but it really was bonkers. I'd be interested to know which bits of the show were added in for dramatic effect. He really was a clot, wasn't he?

Other half has moved onto Strike. Can't be bothered getting into a JKR row so half watching it. It's absolute rot and no idea why everyone has such ridiculous names.

The Stonehouse disappearance was one of the first news stories I remember. Around that time we also had Lord Lucan doing a runner and Jeremy Thorpe embroiled in his thing. Also Orient were a stable 2nd tier side, very strange days indeed.
